Relaxed Birding and Flowers at White Wolf

July 20, 2019 to July 21, 2019

Whether you’re new to birding and botany, or you want to learn more about Yosemite’s high country ecology, you’re bound to enjoy this relaxing weekend with a naturalist guide. During a series of day hikes in the White Wolf area, you’ll learn about and look for diverse bird and plant species that live at the park’s high elevations. Enjoy summer scenery, as you practice identifying songbirds by sight and sound, and using clues such as petal count and color to figure out which wildflowers are blooming along the trails. This weekend offers naturalists of all levels a can’t-miss opportunity to learn from a Yosemite expert and recharge in the beautiful Sierra Nevada.

Included with your registration:

Both days will be a combination of birding and investigating wildflowers starting Saturday at 8 am until about 3 pm on Sunday.
